about

The Rock describes the idea of power and those corrupted by it.

lyrics

So you're showing me an empire
Burning, burning to the ground
Nothing ever came from empire
burned down worn down,

so gather all known survivors, from the battle, from the war
I will not them divide us I will not lay down my sword.

Oh
For I will be rock
standing like a wall
I will be your saviour, saving young and old
i will be your strongman i will keep you safe
safe from all the hatred safe from all the rage
I will your fortress, built upon the rock
I will be that rock, I will be that rock

So I'm showing you my empire
Build it, build it, from the ground
I will look upon upon my empire
Build it, build it, from the ground.

so gather all known survivors, from the battle, from the war
I will not them divide us I will not lay down my sword.

Oh
For I will be a rock
standing like a wall
I will be your saviour, saving young and old
i will be your strongman i will keep you safe
save from all the hatred safe from all the rage
I will your fortress, built upon the rock
I will be that rock, I will be that rock

Bridge
They speak of this time
In legend and rhyme
some mystic, never crossed
They'll fail to believe what we fought to achieve
this movements marching on.
Oh releasing the dream form the slumber it's been, hiding, all along
Oh a future unleashed, by a people I lead,
keep marching, to this song.

Oh
I will be your rock
standing like a wall
I will be your saviour, saving young and old
i will be your strongman i will keep you safe
save from all the hatred safe from all the rage
I will your fortress, built upon the rock
I will be that rock, I will be that rock
